 To Test Eggs: Dissolve an ounce of salt in ten ounces of water. Good eggs will sink in it, old eggs will swim, and bad ones will float. The latter will float even in pure water. Fresh eggs are transparent clear to the cen ter old ones are transparent at the top. To keep eggs, cover them with beeswax dissolved in warm olive or cottonseed oil. Use one-third wax to two-thirds oil. Chicdqo Herald.
 A Massachusetts blacksmith, who delivered an address before the New England Farmers Club on the subject of the management and care of the horse, said corns on the horse's foot are the result of broken arteries under the bar of the hoof, which makes its appearance afterward in a bloody, spongy appearance. They can not be cured, for the artery can never be en. tirely closed up.-C Cincinnati Tunes.

Duties of the Compradores.

In all European firms in Hong Kong it becomes a necessity to have China man to act as "go-between" for the English seller and the Chinese buyer. This man enters the firm as a paid clerk. He is generally fairly educated, and must be able to converse in Pigeon English. Through his means all bar gains are completed, as the English man can not speak Chinese, nor can the Chinese dealer converse in English. These compradores, as they are called, are wealthy and responsible men. In some cases they belong to families ranking among the highest classes. They are wealthy, nay, fabulously wealthy, some of them, and supposed to be honest men. Whenthey arrange a purchase for the firm in whose ems ployment they may be, they become re- sponsible for the payment of the amount in question. If the purchase fails, they have to pay. So it will be seen that the post of compradore is no sinecure, and that it is of supreme im- portance for commercial firm to se- cure the services of one at the same time wealthy, honest and reliable GentLen9an'S Mdgdzine.

KEEPING GOOD STOCK.
Why IL Does Not Pay to Raise Inferior
 Grades of Animals.

why It Does Not Fay to hS4S6 Inferior Grades of Animals.
 For some time past there has been a general complaint that times are hard, money scarce, and, in consequence, farmers profits small. To certain extent there is hardly any question but that this is so. Some of the causes are beyond our reach, we are not able to control them; but others we are, if we are willing to put forth the proper effort.
 Where mixed farming is followed, and the greater portion of what is raised upon the farm is fed to stock, so that all the manure possible can be made, saved and applied, in order to realize the largest amount of profits possible, it is necessary to secure the largest gain at the smallest expense. One of the first essentials necessary to secure this is to have good stock. The farmer who is obliged to work and manage so as to secure the largest pos sible profits, can not afford to feed what he raises upon the farm to any thing else but good stock, because it is only with good stock that he can se- cure the largest gain.
 It is true good stock costs little more than scrubs, but they make us more money, and yon can make more money with less number, and less feed will be required. I think I am safe in saying that many farmers raise and feed stock that, leaving out the expense of feeding and care, does not pay the farmers a profit In fact, he does not receive fair price for what he has fed out With ordinary care the manure should be worth the trouble of feeding and caring for the animals. But too often the man who will insist upon keeping the scrub stock, will also fail to take the proper means to make, save and apply all the manure possible, so that to many the failure to keep good stock really im- plies two losses-a failure to secure the largest gain from the feed, and also the value of the manure.
 To this may further be added the care. The man who will fail in the other two respects will nearly always fail to give such care and attention in feeding and sheltering that is necessa- " to secure the best results. The man who keeps good stock realizes the fact that the greatest gain can only be se- cured bv pOod feed and pood care Thus the keeping of the one implies the other.
 When the profits at best are small, it ot course requires but a small amount of neglect to take off all the profits. We are feeding the grain and hay and running the risk with no profit. One may be surer of profit with good stock and good care, and not only profit, but an increased one, than where only scrubs are kept Farm, Field asd Stockmdn.

WHITEHEAD ToRPEDoEs.
Adopted by Nearly Every Naval Power
 Enrnne and America

Adopted by Nearly Every Naval Power in
 Europe and America
 The torpedo that has been adopted by nearly every naval power in Europe is known as the Whitehead, and be- longs to what may be des ignated as the ''proiectile class" that is, having been started on its course toward the enemy, no control of it is retained by the operator. Most of the various types of this class are wholly sub merged when operated against any enemy, and are generally arranged to run at a given depth below the sur- face, varying from five to fifteen feet.
 Naturally, one of the main objects of inventors of torpedoes, as well as of those engaged in other fields of inven- tion. is financial profit. The White head is the only torpedo that has yet proved a success in this respect. It is built of thin sheets of steel, is cigar shaped but without the attached float and is made in three sizes, the largest being 1 9 feet long by 16 inches diameter, and the smallest 9 feet long by Il inches diameter. The motive power is compressed air, car ried at a pressure of about seventy atmospheres, in cylindrical reservoir within the torpedo. The speed attained is about 25 miles per hour for a distance of 45O yards. The torpedo is divided in- to three sections-''forward, :" middle and ''rear'' containing, respectively, the charge of 70 tn % F0unds or gun cotton; the adjusting mechanism, wherein lies the secret of the inventor, and by which the hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding water is made to regulate the depth of immersion; and the air engi nes and steering machinery. It is designed to be carried on board very swift torpedo boat capable of overtaking the fastest iron-clad, and, when within effective range, to be discharged from the boat with the steering rudder of the torpedo set in such a position as to di- rect its center toward the enemy. The first motion, or ''discharge, is effect ed through guide tube Tn the bow of the boat, either above or below the sur face of the water, usually by means of a very small charge of powder, after which, upon reaching the water, the torpedo is propelled by its own ex- zines. The explosion may be made to take place either upon impact with the enemy or after the torpedo has run given distance. .-ScribRer' Magazine.

Vaccination Rules.

The merits of vaccination have been considered since 1883 by a German commission-three members of which were anti-vaccinationists these are among the conclusions which have at length been announced: The period during which vaccination protects against smallpox varies greatly, but as a rule all persons should be vac- cinated every ten years; two we'll marked vesicles are necessary to insure successful protection; animal vaccine is preferable; no special disease or in- creasing death rate can be traced to the practice of vaccination; the opera tion should not be performed during epidemics of scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, whooping, cough, typhus or erysipelas; ln1ants should not be vac cinated until three months old; and the greatest care in cleaning and disin- fecting instruments should be observed -ArkGHsG0 1rGVeLsr.

Cheerful Apartments.

The only way to bring rooms into your home life is to live in them. A room opened only for company always looks stiff and formal, and even the hostess herself assumes company man. ners, which stife sociability in herself and visitors. There is no reason why ease and comfort should be incompati- ble with handsome or elegant sur- roundings. but if one can not feel homelike and hospitable because of them, by all means keep the plain fur nishings. Handsome furniture and decorations do not give personality and can not make room homelike, and no matter how artistic and gor- geous it may be, unless it bears the im- press of the home inmate it is entirely devoid of home sentiment.

RemarkabIe shower of ouaII..

Talking of quails, said a man from Nevada few years ago, we had most remarkable shower of quails in Virginia City. It occurred about four O clock in the fall of the year. Where the quail came from no one could imagine, as they were of the large mountain variety and perfect beauties. The fall of birds extended over three-quarters of a mile of ground. Peo- pie caught them by putting their hats over them or by simply picking them up. Every body had quail. About one hun dred were caught alive and kept in cages and pens in various parts of the town. The most probable solution of the phe- nomenon was that the birds had collected at some points in the Sierras for the pur- pose of migrating to the southward, but had either mistaken theIr course or had been blown out of it, and so flew on and on till they were obliged to come to the ground through exhaustion.

FERTILITY OF SOIL.

The Inexhaustfble1SuppI of the Mineral
 Constituents of Vegetation.
 It is to be remembered that soil is made of dissolved rock. And this rock is found to contain all the mineral ele- ments required by vegetation, the diff ference in the natural fertility of soils being the difference of the rock of which the soil is formed. This being so, it is evident that the earth will con- tinue to furnish the mineral constitu- ents of vegetation while soil or rock remains.
 The other ingredients of vegetation, oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, are furnished, the two first from air and water, the other. nitrogen, in a way that seems at present to be not fully understood. It is generally agreed that plants do not receive their nitro- gen directly from the air, therefore indirectly from air as primary source, in what way we may not fully under stand.
 Air is composed of oxygen and nitro- gen, the nitrogen in greatest propor- ton. It is known that oxygen is read fly communicated to other substances, and is largely drawn upon in combus- ton. As the composition of the air is never known to vary, and as large quanties of nitrogen are con- tinually being discharged into the air, it is evedint that nitrogen must also be communicated, the surplus quantities being constantly thrown off to unite with other substances. With what substances nitrogen is thus combined may be inferred from observation. The formation of nitrate of potash and ni- trate of soda are familiar examples. It is also known that saltpetre is formed artifi cially by mixing ingredients to at tract the nitrogen from the atmos- phere. These facts go to show that the supply of nitrogen required by cul- tivation is assured, requiring only the hand of man to supply the deficiency that the growing of crops has created. And though deficiency of nearly all the elements of nutrition will be oc- curing, it is encouraging to know that by the intelligence and industry it may always be supplied, and the earth rendered perennial in the pro- duction offood for man.
 The provisions of nature in every di- rection are evidently such, that with reasonable care and seasonable labor, mankind can enjoy her fruits to the full. Massachusetts Plo1OnGn.

 "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Please allow me to add my testimony to the most excellent medicinal qualities of your Vegetable Com pound.
